About the Book:
A basic textbook on geotechnical earthquake
engineering. It is lucidly written and is suitable for undergraduate as
well as first year postgraduate course in civil engineering with soil
mechanics and foundation engineering at undergraduate level as
prerequisite.
Key Features:
Subject matter is organised logically to make it easy and interesting for the students.
Emphasis has been given on the basics of geotechnical earthquake engineering.
Home work problems have been given at the end of each chapter to test the understanding of concepts given in the chapter.
At
the end of appropriate chapters solved numerical problems as well as
exercise numerical problems as home work problems have also been to
make the related concepts clear.

Dr. Kamalesh
Kumar is with civil engineering, Biria Institute of Technology &
Science (BITS), Pilani, Rajasthan. He obtained his B. Tech. degree from
Indian Institute of Technology, Kanpur and M. S. degree from Lehigh
University, Pennsylvania, USA. He completed his Ph. D. from BITS
Pilani, Rajasthan in 2002. He has research publications in one
international conference, three national conferences and two national
journals. He has contributed chapter on geotechnical earthquake
engineering for the lecture notes developed by civil engineering group,
BITS Pilani for earthquake risk management. His area of specialization
is geotechnical engineering. He is actively involved in the soil
consultancy projects to determine its bearing capacity. He is member of
Phi-Beta-Delta honour society for international scholars.
